Right now in the v2.5_branch of development, we have
linuxcnc [the main program]
xlinuxcnc [the Xaw-based GUI]
linuxcncrsh [the program we're talking about now]
tklinuxcnc [the Tk-based GUI]
unix command names are generally lowercase, so it's 'linuxcnc' rather than
'LinuxCNC' there.
If we were to shorten them up, maybe it should be "cnc" in command names
(xcnc, cncrsh, tkcnc).
"lcnc" and "lnc" are both used as marketing names by other cnc control
manufacturers; I'd be pretty reluctant to use these as command names in
LinuxCNC.
